Trainee / Junior Technology Recruitment Consultant

Manchester (Onsite)


Join a modern recruitment business shaping what great looks like.


This isn’t just another entry-level recruitment role, it’s a chance to learn the craft properly. To be part of a growing consultancy that believes recruitment should be disciplined, human and excellent!


You’ll be learning from experienced recruiters who’ve built high-performing teams before and now want to develop the next generation of standout consultants. So if you’re ambitious, curious and up for a real challenge, this is where you’ll build your foundation.


What You’ll Be Doing


  • Training daily through a structured, hands-on development programme.

  • Learning how to build and manage your own market across Tech, Data, or Digital.

  • Speaking to clients and candidates every day, refining your commercial instinct & communication.

  • Working closely with senior consultants and leadership on live projects.

  • Using the latest recruitment tech and AI tools to find, engage, and connect talent.


You Should Apply If You


  • Are ambitious, competitive and eager to learn.

  • Have strong communication skills and genuine curiosity about recruitment.

  • Want to build a long-term career, not just a short-term job.

  • Are resilient - you can handle challenges and bounce back stronger.

  • Value structure, feedback, and the chance to continuously improve.


What You’ll Get


  • One-to-one mentorship from experienced consultants and leaders.

  • A custom-built training programme that covers every stage of recruitment.

  • A clear progression pathway from Trainee to Consultant — mapped and achievable.

  • Access to world-class tools, data, and automation to accelerate learning.

  • Competitive base salary, strong commission and genuine earning potential early on.


The Culture


You’ll join a high-performing team that trains every day, grows every day, and competes to be better - together.


The culture is ambitious but supportive, grounded in trust, consistency and accountability. You’ll be encouraged to think critically, act with integrity, and take ownership from day one. If you want to learn recruitment properly, from people who do it to the highest standard… this is the place to start.

If this role feels like it could be a fit, even if you don’t tick every box, we’d still love to chat! One of the best parts of working through a Rec2Rec partner is that we often have other roles that might suit you better - they’re just not all visibly listed. Hit apply anyway and we’ll help you figure out which opportunity is the right one for you.
